Jeffrey Rudell from CraftStylish put out a great article recently about crafting for magazines. Crafting Editorial Props: A Case Study walks you through a real world crafting-for-dollars scenario including working with an unrealistic budget and bringing your own backdrops.

The most cringe-inducing thing about this article is realizing that Jeff actually cut up over 50 real dollars to make $800. Well worth it but still.
